[Verse 1]
        G       Cadd9    G
You can swim in this old river

     G    G/F#   Em7    D
It's been delivered

          Cadd9
Since the factory shut down

                       G
And like the river I'm waiting

    Cadd9 G
For resurrection

            G/F# Em7      D
Since I lost your affection

              Cadd9
And love left town
[Chorus]
           Em7 Cadd9 G    D
There'll be no more crying

       Em7 Cadd9  D    G
There's no one left to blame

         Em7  Cadd9 G  D
Love will come out standing

   Em7  Cadd9 D  G
So roll that stone away
[Verse 2]
        G
We were good

       Cadd9           G
But we could have been better

       G    G/F#           Em7
And the best is what we're after

D                           Cadd9
When it comes right down to love

                     G
You were always the strong one

Cadd9           G
Bright as the setting sun

       G/F#        Em7
Go shine somewhere else my love

D              Cadd9
Some brand new world (some brand new world)
[Chorus]
           Em7 Cadd9 G   D
There'll be no more crying

        Em7 Cadd9 D    G
There's no one left to blame

         Em7  Cadd9 G D
Love will come out standing

   Em7   Cadd9 D    G
So roll that stone away
[Bridge] G Cadd9 G G/F# Em7 D Cadd9
                        G
And like that river I'm waiting

    Cadd9      G
For resurrection

        G   G/F#    Em7
Since I lost your affection

 D            Cadd9
And love left town (and love left town)
[Chorus]
           Em7 Cadd9 G   D
There'll be no more crying

        Em7  Cadd9  D  G
There's no one left to blame

          Em7  Cadd9  G   D
Love will come out standing

   Em7 Cadd9 D     Em7  Cadd9  D
So roll that stone, roll that stone

                G
Roll that stone away
